Me: I think you are getting photo bombed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me: It is ok, it is fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a poem from Phil<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just suppose, when I pray, there really is someone listening who cares about me and wants to know what is on my mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just suppose, when I pray, it changes me and my view of how the universe operates and who is involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just suppose I put my doubts aside for a minute and consider the possibility that someone who knew me before I was born loves me, warts and all, without condition or reservation, no matter how badly I have behaved in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just suppose a prayer was my first response instead of my last resort when facing a new challenge or an old temptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just suppose I lived each day knowing that there is an inexhaustible supply of love for me to pass along to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just suppose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We believe all of these just suppose things are true. Just suppose they are true for you too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalms 31:24<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the LORD!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
